Our second reading yesterday (Sunday) was from the book of Hebrews chapter 12. One verse in particluar, struck me.
Heb 12:22 – But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly
The author of Hebrews is writing to the Jews of the early church. In verses 18-21 he first describes the mountain of fear and contrasts it with the mountain of joy which is Zion. The mountain of fear he is talking about is the dependence on the law while the mountain of joy is Zion, the church of the new covenant. He calls it the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. Quite obviously, the heavenly Jerusalem he is writing about is not a woman who will be coming 2000 years later but something they are already experiencing in the present of the first century itself. Nor is it a physical place. The most logical interpretation is that it is a body of people, the body of Christ.
Comments please.
You know, there is a reason God made man the head and not the woman. Why would He send a second after Him, a woman, to complete the mission? Is John – the baptist, and Jesus not enough? I’m guessing the woman can get to man better. What a bunch of cereal. Smh.

Like I told a friend today, if they don’t pack their loads and go back to Korea out from all countries one of these members will crack one day and it won’t be funny. They need to stop before people lose their humanity.

Yes, but on the bright side if someone snaps it'll be all over the news. No one will ever want to associate with them anymore.
*I do not condone such actions.

That is true too.

The WMSCOG claims that verse is a prophecy in Give Thanks to God.
My understanding is the early church DID teach mother vaguely sort of but forgot (or something like that) and so Paul was writting about Mother being with them spiritually (or some BS like that(

Sometimes I don’t know if the strong desire of the members to be the new version of the Jews is what drives them to believe in all this encarnation and spiritual version of Heavenly Jerusalem. The Jews got to speak to God and were the chosen people (are the chosen depending on what you believe) so anyone would love to be in their place if their faith is towards their God.

Yes. Heavenly Jerusalem is the place where we are now. I will tell this to my friend. Thank you for your help.
To me, WMSCOG just seems like a page cut out from the Unification Church book. It's like a minor cult that came out from a big cult, striving to become a big cult itself to acquire power, self-glorification, money or whatever it is that they want. But I guess for those who experienced being with wmscog, they don't seem so minor since they really affect the family that they "infect" with their cultic ways.
they arent really that alike
